The OB was built into the ha-ha surrounding a small woodland known as “The Wilderness”, situated in the south-western corner of Easton Park.
A track skirts the northern edge of the woodland, running parallel with the sunken wall and past the OB which was situated about 150 yards from the road. Inquisitive villagers were told that the structure was intended to be used as an emergency food supply during the war and some still believe this story today. The whole park is surrounded on all sides by a high red-brick crinkle-crankle wall which is believed to be the longest existing wall of its kind. Before Easton Park came under new ownership, several gates in this wall provided access to the park.

The former estate village of Easton is situated approximately five kilometres south of Framlingham. Easton Manor had been converted for use as a Red Cross Hospital. After the end of WW1 the British government imposed super taxes on the rich to help defray the cost of the war, and considering the high cost of restoring the Mansion, Lord James Graham (later the Duke of Montrose) decided to sell the estate. The land was divided into 137 lots and sold by auction in 1919. The Mansion, however, did not sell and it was finally demolished in 1924. The surrounding 150-acre parkland, Easton Park, was transferred to Martley Hall which adjoins in the north. It is currently a stud farm (Easton Park Stud).
